on a practical level, you are unlikely to reach the owners if they are outside the community
if that has occurred, you are not likely to get them to register
consider an exemption for locally owner properties
consider an extension to 6 or 9 months
it is not unlikely for a property to go vacant for 60-90 days
should make the property requirements no greater than that required by the regular home owners
